Glamorgan the visitors for day-night Championship fixture

Sussex have made one change to their squad for their day-night Specsavers County Championship match against Glamorgan at The 1st Central County Ground that begins tomorrow (Sunday 22nd July).

Tom Haines comes into the 13-man squad that travelled to Cheltenham ahead of the thrilling win against Gloucestershire that finished on Thursday. Luke Wright is rested.

After taking 21 points from that 28-run victory, Sussex have leapfrogged Leicestershire into third place in division two and now sit 13 points behind Kent in second.

A number of Sussex players reached personal landmarks during the fixture. Jofra Archer’s match figures 8-91 took him to 100 career first-class wickets in just his 22nd appearance and Ben Brown’s 79 runs took him past 6,000 career first-class runs. 

David Wiese is now just one wicket away from his 300th in first-class cricket, Brown needs three catches to reach 300 in first-class cricket and 43 runs for Ollie Robinson will take him to 1,000 in first-class cricket. 

Sussex Squad:
26. Ben Brown (capt. & wk)
22. Jofra Archer
18. Will Beer
21. Danny Briggs
5. Michael Burgess
6. Harry Finch

20. Tom Haines
8. Chris Jordan
9. Delray Rawlins
25. Ollie Robinson
28. Phil Salt
31. Luke Wells
96. David Wiese

Opposition:

Glamorgan have slipped to the bottom of division two after Gloucestershire’s bonus points from Cheltenham saw them sneak ahead of the Welshmen.

Glamorgan’s sole win in the competition so far came against Gloucestershire in their opening fixture. They have lost four and drawn two of their subsequent matches. 

Usman Khawaja has only played three Championship matches for the county, but is their leading run scorer in the competition having made hundreds in each of those fixtures. He is not scheduled to play any further four-day cricket for Glamorgan, however.

That leaves Academy graduate Jack Murphy as their top scorer, with 368 runs from his 13 innings so far.

Timm van der Gugten is Glamorgan’s leading wicket taker with 26 scalps. Michael Hogan is close behind on 24.
